After we had our delightful lunch here that day, I suggested going out for something light and simple, things here that we have loved before for dinner so we would not have to do any cooking that day.
My girl did talk about going for the wat tan hor a few times already but we never got round to doing that. I did take a snapshot of what we were served that night (RM12.00) but I accidentally deleted it. For one thing, I must say that it was nothing like this…
…not at all. The serving was huge, meant to be shared by two, in that big plate but there was so very little kway teow (flat rice noodles), none of the miserable three minute shrimps and very little bitter gourd drowning in the egg gravy! It tasted all right though, that much credit I would give to what we had that night but at that price for so little, I sure would think twice about going back there for it again.
I also ordered our favourite honey chicken wings (RM12.00)…
…and yes, we enjoyed those but they did seem to look a whole lot nicer, those days when they were only RM9.80 a plate…
I did not like the beef satay (RM2.50 a stick)…
It seemed that they no longer marinated the meat the same way they used to so it had a somewhat peculiar taste, very strong on the spices so I did not really like it this time around. The chicken tasted o.k., RM2.00 a stick but even though the prices have remained the same, I am pretty sure there was more meat on the sticks before…
We had a waffle with kaya (RM4.50)…
…for dessert and all in all, inclusive of drinks, the total came up to a whooping RM59.00 and to think that I only had to fork out RM60.00 for what we had for our lunch that day, I would say that it was somewhat steep especially considering that it is nothing more than a coffee shop, not some classy and more exclusive restaurant!
